This is one of those "trick" questions. It requires dismissing irrelevant information.
What is the TOTAL distance that George walked, in any direction?
750m + 250m = 1000m
So, he walked 1000m in 13 seconds.
To find the rate per second, simply divide the distance by the time.
1000m/13seconds = 76.923m/s

Either George is secretly "The Flash" or this is impossible.
